Zach Goodweather quotes from The Strain

Zach Goodweather

Why did you call him a vampire?

Abraham Setrakian

Because that's what he turned into.

My dad didn't use that word.

[about his drink] It's warm.

Dutch Velders

We're in the middle of a vampire apocalypse; everybody's making sacrifices.

Abraham Setrakian

His disappearance coincided with the fall of the Roman Empire. While his immediate fate was unknown, sightings persisted throughout Eurasia over centuries. Yet to this day, no record exists to explain where he came from nor how he was created. Perhaps a clue lies in the nickname given to him by his sponsor, Senator Sertorius: "The Born".

Zach Goodweather

Abraham Setrakian

The answer to both questions, is yes.
